Chapter 43
“Think of this as one of your missions that your uncle always sends you to execute”, Gina spoke out heading to the black plastic to ask her to do her best to keep her cool.
Crystal looking at her in surprise asked in wonder,
” You knew about everything I was doing all along?”, she asked in awe, and Gina nodding her head in acceptance, said that she had known from the moment she had started it. Crystal wondering why she had never said anything to her, asked why but Gina said that she was just minding her business and that was all.
“I could not interfere as you only see me as an employee here though you have always treated me well”, she spoke up with her head lowered.
Crystal having tears in her eyes hugged her, and with mixed words, she said,
” I wish I could turn back the hands of time”.
She did wish because she could be attached anywhere all because of her uncle’s deeds that she foolishly followed without any question being asked. Wiping off her tears, Gina told her not to be bothered as time heals all wounds, and also her uncle was going to pay for all the hurts that he had ever done.
Crystal felt warm having to know that someone else order than her uncle, knew about all the things she had been doing and the rip-offs that she had executed. Gina, telling her that she should not worry about anything, also said that they had to leave from there. Picking up the plastic bags, they left the kitchen heading to the door.
The guards did not question Gina and they left her to go outside since they had seen her with the plastic bags signifying that there was dirt inside. Walking quickly, Crystal was behind her and there were already a lot of people coming into the compound. Just as they were about to approach the gate, Max and his friends drove inside, and Gina catching sight of them, shook in fright walking backward and telling Crystal to hold her peace.
“Do not move, just turn around as that is your uncle in his car coming in”, she said to Crystal. Crystal panicking as to what might happen to them if they were caught, held the flowers that were standing at the side of the wall, and acting like she was lacking them, she bent on them.
” Gina, where are you heading to?”, Max inquired bringing down his window glass as he instructed his driver to stop Gina, knowing that everything was going to be spoiled if she did not behave herself, told her boss that there was a lot of cleaning to be done so she wanted to dispose of the dirt before returning to get the others.
Max who was a very vigilant man, sensed something fishy, and looking at her keenly not being able to see the other person behind her, he asked her why she had to stress when there were other people to do that for her.
Gina let out a cunning smile and said that she could not keep it in the kitchen and she had nothing more to do as she could not stay in the room while Crystal was being arranged.
Max threw a suspicious gaze at her and he did not have anything against her and told her not to belong outside as the guest might need her though there were others available already. Gina nodded in understanding and stood there waiting for Max’s car to drive in completely before she turned to Crystal and told them to hurry up.
The safety officer closed the gate and Gina told Crystal to follow her out. It was a good day to plan an escape as there were a lot of people at the Mansion. They both went out of the gate and Crystal stood there for some minutes like someone who had been imprisoned for years without being able to catch sight of the sunlight.
Gina who was already advancing noticed that she was not being followed, and turning behind, she saw Crystal inhaling and exhaling fresh air.
“It feels good to be out again”, she screamed out in joy. Gina ran to her and said that they had to go because if they didn’t, it was going to be just a matter of minutes before her uncle found out that she was not in the Mansion.
Crystal agreeing to what Gina was saying, ran off with her as the street where they lived was a desert one. Cab drivers did not often come there as it was a very big street just for the rich so the majority of the people who lived there were car owners if a taxi was been seen there, then it was hired by someone.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Max arrived at the house and dropping out of the car, he was spotted by some guests who had come to meet him to congratulate him on his niece’s wedding and that, they had brought gifts for the bride.
Max smoked and thanked them for making time and for honoring his invitation to come and celebrate with him. Telling that they should make themselves comfortable, he excused himself and walked into the house.
He was wowed by the decor and his plans were going on well. He had asked from the guard at the door, how things were going on in the house, and he said that everything was going on agreeably.
” How about my niece?”, he inquired and the guard said that he had not seen her the whole day but believed that she was okay with her makeup artist and stylists.
Max was glad to listen to that so he decided to go up to his room the ringtone of his phone caught his attention, so he took out his phone and saw that it was Nathan who was calling.
Thinking twice before picking up the phone, he asked with a low voice what he wanted and Nathan feeling all excited, said that he was already on his way with his friends and he appreciated the cars that Max had sent to come and pick them up.
On listening to that, he hung up the call and called out to his favorite guard to go upstairs and check how his niece’s preparation was holding up. Retorting to his boss, he left for the guest room where Crystal’s makeup was being done.
Gina and Crystal had reached a point already and stopped all the cars that they could see on the road, none was stopping as they were dressed in maid attire, and the people of Bepanda were very proud and wicked.
Gina saw that they could not continue so she told Crystal to halt and that she could not continue with her anymore. Crystal thinking that she had not heard her well, told Gina to continue but she said again that her journey ended there and that she had to go back to the mansion.
Crystal could not believe her ears and asked what was happening to her and why she wanted to go back to the mansion knowing fully well what the risks were.
“What are you even saying like this Gina?”, she asked with tears in her eyes.
Gina was serious that she wanted to return to the Mansion and that was all she could do.
” Please don’t do this at least not for me, please because my uncle will kill you”, Crystal cried out begging her not to go back and that if she had to go back then they would together. Gina was confused and could not jeopardize all that she had done to get her out of there.
She finally accepted Crystal’s pleadings after some minutes of intense supplications.
“Fine let’s go but I don’t pretty know much where we could go to as I have no relative nor person to go to now”, Gina spoke out with her hands trembling but Crystal said that she knew where they could go to.
Max could give attention to someone knocking on his door and with a loud voice, he asked who it was and his guard spoke outside saying that there was a problem.
Unlocking his door, he came out asking what the issue was and gguardedmumbled that CrystCryshad helped mad out of rage.
” What did you say?”, he asked with a thundering voice shoving the guard to one side and rushing to the guest room where they were taking care of her, he saw the guards still wiping off their eyes and he pushed them too to one side jabbing the door open and walking into the room to find the makeup artist and her crew still dozing on the table.
Tapping one of them and shouting at her to wake up, he pulled her up and gave her a very heavy slap that could wake up a dead person from their slumber.
“Wake up you incompetent fools and explain to me what happened here”, he yelled out, and only then did they notice they, there was no one else in that room except them. Turning to the guards that were standing behind him, he asked them to keep an eye on the ladies and not to let them go anywhere while he walked out of the room instructing his security to take a few Of his men and search for his niece and bring her back to her wedding.
Holding his head as to the shame and embarrassment that he was going to be faced with, he screamed out in terror going downstairs to ask Gina how Crystal had managed to escape when she was supposed to be at a look and to question his security officer as well.
When he finally got downstairs, he met the hard who was standing at the door and asking him how Crystal had managed to leave the house, he told him that he was fired.
The guard in a state of shock said that he had no idea of what he was talking about as he had not left his position since morning and he had been very vigilant. Max left him and headed to the gate, he met the security officer and asked him what had happened so he let Crystal go out.
Holding his head in surprise, he told Max that he had not seen Crystal pass through that gate, and Max asked him whether he was a liar and that he did not know what he was saying right.
The security office went mute out of lack of answer and when Mad turned around not being able to find Gina, he inquired where she was and the security administrator told him that since she went out to thrash the dirt, she had not come back.
It was all beginning to make sense now to Max and he ordered all of his guards to search both for Crystal and Gina and should not come back till they had found them and brought them to him alive
Crystal and Gina had finally succeeded in getting a car and they had to Blazes Mansion as that was the only place that she could hide from her monstrous uncle.
